Congrats to John and Jim on this accomplishment. I'd like to also point out 
that this successful
reception took place on what, the first or second night of transmissions? 
And in the middle
of March!!

While you don't want to make too much out of a single test, this reception 
has well as many
receptions at great distances in the US make it clear that WOLF must be 
taken very
seriously has the mode for next season. I encourage all "lowfers" on both sides
of the Atlantic to strongly consider adding the WOLF mode to both your 
transmission
and reception capabilities.

And, yes, hats off to Stewart, KK7KA for developing this mode...and really 
also to Lyle
Koehler, K0LR who once again led the charge in doing on air testing of this 
new mode.

Congrats to all again.
